Spice Up Your Holidays with Moll Anderson’s Essential Spices

Holiday dinners shared with family and friends are the most memorable. For me, the holiday season is when I prepare the timeless family recipes that my husband and family enjoy. The combination of flavor from sweet and savory to hot and spicy are pleasing to the palate. The spices for fall and winter add heat to your menu–from the warmth of cinnamon to the kick of cumin.

Coriander—works with both sweet and savory foods. Grind and add to cookies, or coat chicken before grilling.

Cinnamon—Used since ancient times, cinnamon makes a home smell homey, so use it with abandon in baked goods. Plenty of long-simmered meats benefit from a cinnamon stick in the pot. It’s said to treat colds, ease nausea and improve energy levels.

Cumin—From the Southwest to the Middle East, cumin arouses appetites with its tantalizing fragrance.

Listen this Saturday to the Moll Anderson Show, 2pm PST, 5 pm EST, as guest Monte Durham from TLC’s Say Yes to The Dress, Atlanta reveals the hottest wedding trends for fall and winter and so much more.
